From Loyn's Evening we learn about French vessels spotted near the Fortagd-Bank trading fishery, Speedwell aboard Capt. Fanthaw dispatched to eject them. Reports from Gambia’s governor Debatt about coastwise hostilities grow. Portsmouth ships are ready for a moment’s warning, with a fleet allegedly ordered to Portsmouth and Warsaw opening an English Academy. News of a Yorkshire teacher Mr Man arriving in Warsaw and an English commoner’s push toward France surface amid imperial politics. Ipswich notes William Lynch, Esq, weds Miss Fowler. a pair of rural quarrels end in legal detours. The column laments excise courts, biased trials, and the heaviness of enforcement removing justice from juries and neighbors, prompting a cry for reform.

Longitude Debate Sparks Printer Correspondence in Paris
The London Evening Post prints a debate on navigation and longitude. A Paris correspondent urges payment of owed funds while refuting Locke’s method of determining longitude by distance run and latitude. The Autograph Lover of Truth defends true navigation, noting currents and variation of the compass complicate efforts to fix longitude at sea.
